Audi S8 gets V10 Lamborghini Power

[iGav]

£50k for a Lamborghini V10... bargain or what. 😱 😀

I wonder if this is confirmation that the next RS6 is going to be Lambo powered as well? 😀

Thoughts?

thoughts? i think i want one... 😀

So when does the A8 get scissor doors? I'd pay a lot of money to see German politicians trying to look graceful as they slide out of their limos. Yes, I'm fully aware that the Gallardo has normal doors.

OMG thats awesome! Whats more awesome is the fact that a Lambo is 100000000% profit it seems??

Get it in black with heavy tinted windows, buy a black suit and you too could protect the earth from the scum of the universe... 😀

The S8 is a beast anyway, at least the chassis should be able to handle the power, better brakes too.

Damn you iGav, I just creamed my jeans. It just makes my old Audi seem so passe.

Got to be the best looking car on the market today. I wonder how the V10 Lambo engine will stack up to the W12 A8L?

love it, but it has that same weird grill that the Audi TT Concept that you posted... hmmm.

Did they increase the brake size? It seems Audi often forgets that one...

I'm sorry to say it, but surely that's gotta be "bye bye, M5" Zzzzzoooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmm!!!!!

It's not a weird grille. It's the new face of Audi. Look at the whole Audi line up!

I always like the A8's. But this just blows my mind. If I just could afford one.....

I rather get the new IS 350......

Yuck. Audi makes awesome cars. The new A8 is yet another fine example. Take a look at the S9 for another fine example.

Yes they did. At least you get the option as standard.

Brakes are the carbon ceramic discs that are currently an option on the W12 A8, 385mm at the front and 335mm at the back, sitting behind 20-inch wheels and 265/35 20 tyres.

You want a Toyota over an Audi with a fantastic engine? <shakes head, hears rattle>

Looks like the VW Gruppe has some interesting exchanges happening. Here's to even more useful combinations. Somehow the V10 sounds better than a W12.

Oooops, Y'all ease up, guys I'm making a hell of a mess here. And like I want one, yesterday. One of my mates has the s6, wonder if I can get him to upgrade?

Um.........I feel a bit ripped off right now.
